http://www.eerl.org/index.php?P=FullRecord&ResourceId=1510This paper describes database studies that have examined where the greatest emission reductions in sulfur dioxide have occurred over the past twenty years. Specifically, the paper examines whether reductions have come from retrofits of existing power generation plants, or replacement of old plants with new generating capacity. The paper finds that the greatest reductions have been gained through plant retrofits, though new plants have also displace potential emissions from the generation facilities they replaced.Thu, 28 Feb 2008 06:56:38 -0500Are Cap-and-Trade Programs more Environmentally Effective than Conventional Regulation?http://www.eerl.org/index.php?P=FullRecord&ResourceId=1511
http://www.eerl.org/index.php?P=FullRecord&ResourceId=1511This paper explores the consequences of cap-and-trade policies, where the total air pollutant emissions of a whole set of polluters are limited, and they are allowed to trade among themselves for the right to pollute up to the cap. The paper focuses on whether these policies have been effective in addressing environmental problems. The article provides background on the policies of U.S. cap-and-trade programs and provides a policy analysis of the effectiveness of these programs.Thu, 28 Feb 2008 06:48:59 -0500Publication Lists from the MIT Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systemshttp://www.eerl.org/index.php?P=FullRecord&ResourceId=1857

The analysis is based on projected improvements to the technologies through the year 2020. The study finds no significant projected difference in energy use or greenhouse emissions between fuel cell and hybrid technology during this time period.Mon, 23 Jan 2006 07:56:03 -0500Final Report: EPA Center for Airborne Organicshttp://www.eerl.org/index.php?P=FullRecord&ResourceId=1377
http://www.eerl.org/index.php?P=FullRecord&ResourceId=1377The document summarizes the accomplishments of the EPA Center for Airborne Organics; including summaries of research projects, symposia, and the development of the center itself. The central concern of the research was the production of organic air pollutants and their effects. Topics include the chemistry of airborne organics, engine production of organics, fuel additives, particulates, soot, aromatic hydrocarbons, aerosols, transport and transformation of air pollutants, monitoring and source attribution, and regulation. This is the final report of a cross-institute collaboration of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, California Institute of Technology, and the New Jersey Institute of Technology.Mon, 23 Jan 2006 02:03:17 -0500Symposium Summary: 2003 MIT Symposium on Particulate Matterhttp://www.eerl.org/index.php?P=FullRecord&ResourceId=1512
